A search for Threads content on Twitter currently brings up zero results, despite plenty of links to Meta’s microblogging rival being posted on the platform.

    I don’t like when people use their boosted presence to say that minorities are a threat and ought to be exterminated, yeah.

    What’s with people pretending we are talking about pineapple on pizza whenever hate speech is mentioned?

      What’s with people pretending we are talking about pineapple on pizza whenever hate speech is mentioned?

      Because some people (and reddit users in particular) use the strategy of putting everything in the same bag to silence dissent. All it takes is the majority calling ‘pineapple on pizza’ hate speech and now nobody can talk about it in fear of being called a hater.

          Do you have a single example to back this up or are you ready to admit you’re just talking out of your ass?

          I do. Discussing whether trans women should be allowed to compete in women sports will get you branded as a transphobic right wing nazi in 99% of Reddit’s subs, and probably banned too. Once you are labeled your arguments are moot, because you are a hater.

            You’ll find no lack of people with very good arguments about this matter, as well as many who are tired to rehash it over and over again when it has become very clear that many are not satisfied simply with setting rules for women’s sports. There are people being radicalized through a minor issue into generalized hate. For an example, what is happening in US Florida is not about women’s sports.

            But I wasn’t even talking about women’s sports, I was referring to how there are people literally referring to minorities as subhuman and calling for them to be wiped out. Is that not hate enough for you?

            For someone so concerned that your arguments might be mischaracterized, you sure are quick to make sweeping assumptions about people you don’t know.
